Christmas 2010

Hey everyone! This Christmas has had its ups and downs…our first with Ellington and our second without Parker and Haley. Every time we look at Ellington we see Parker and Haley inside of her. Here are a few photos from our Christmas weekend…plus a special photo of Parker and Haley playing in the snow in January 2009. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we continue on our journey. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring about our family. We love each and every one of you.

    I just read Crystal’s recent caringbridge post. Though we don’t know each other, my heart is both happy with/for you and sad with/for you. Your Faith in our God is truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your story and sharing your pictures. The Christmas pictures are just wonderful! I hope somehow it helps to know that many, many people pray for you and your precious family…. even people you don’t know! : )

    GOD BLESS YOU!!

    Thank you for sharing these precious and special memories of your family. Parker and Haley are missed so much by so many. Your family is truly and inspiration for so many people. Especially this time of year. I’m sure You and Crystal had no clue how much God was going to use you in His work. An you both have stood strong and firm in His word TOGETHER, when so many of us would have failed. I hold you and the Fores close to my heart always, I will never forget June of 2009, and I will never forget how strong your faith is. It encourages me more everyday. My loosing my best friend and husband of 11 years in April of 2009 was nothing compared to your loss, yet, your faith keeps my head above water. Stay Strong ~ God Bless You both. An Ms. Ellington! Much Love

    These pictures are too precious for words. I think about your family all of the time. You have no idea how many people in Greenville keep up with your story. If I ever have a baby, Craig…we are getting together for pictures! You really do an awesome job. Continuing to pray for your family and I hope you have a great New Year!

    Hi.
    Thanks for sharing the pictures. A mutual friend told me about your amazing faith and for your amazing miracle of Ellington. I really hope God continues to bless you and I am so sorry for your loss of Parker and Haley. It is a blessing to hear about how strong Ellington’s legs are getting and her ability to move! My brother was born with one thigh shorter than the other and he’s supposed to have surgery this January to lengthen the one. I know it’s a scary process, but I think we should remember that God has his hand over both Ellington and my brother, Jack and he’s going to use these “conditions” in a way that right now no one can imagine, but it is going to be such a gift to those cuties, bringing them closer to Him.
    I’m praying for you guys out here in Arizona. Have a great holiday season and God bless!
    Sincerely with Love,
    Abigail Schultz

  • Holly - December 28, 2010 - 9:24 AM

    I love the pictures. Ellington does look like both Parker and Haley. I pray that God will continue to keep you and your family in his healing hands. Only He Our Father God can heal your heart and body.
